1. Convert Vhd To Vmx

I use a MacBook Pro in the field daily and find myself needing to spin-up some home-brewed Windows and Linux virtual machines quickly. To accomplish this, I prefer to build and maintain several VM’s utilizing VMware Fusion Pro on my Mac.

Granted; VMware Fusion is “I believe” an inferior product to it’s nearest competition, especially when it comes to connecting to and uploading VM’s directly to multiple VMware vSphere server environments. It does have a major shortfall I recently ran into: there is no ability to easily convert VMware VMDK files into Hyper-V VHD’s. Typically, I find myself doing most of my conversions directly from physical hosts (P2V) or from Hyper-V host to VMware ESXi hosts.

We do however have a few clients that use Hyper-V in their environments and luckily, Microsoft does have a utility for easily converting VMware virtual guest OS directly from your vSphere environment, or in my situation, from a VMware Fusion VMDK file to a Hyper-V VHD file. First you will need to download and install from Microsoft’s website. Next, open an elevated PowerShell prompt and run these command (changing the paths to match your source VMDK file and destination path of your new VHD file):. Import-Module ‘C: Program Files Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter MvmcCmdlet.psd1’. ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath “C: Ubuntu-disk1.vmdk” -DestinationLiteralPath “C: Ubuntu-disk1.vhd” -VhdType FixedHardDisk -VhdFormat Vhd Then head over to your Hyper-V host and create a new virtual machine. When you get to the step “Connect Virtual Hard Disk” choose “Use an existing virtual hard disk” radio button and browse for the VHD file you just created.

Lastly fire-up your new Hyper-V virtual machine and hopefully all is good. I hope you found this information helpful and thank you for reading! This article was created based on the following setup:. Mac OS X 10.11.3/VMware Fusion 8.1 (source virtual host). Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS 64-bit (source virtual machine). Windows 10 64-bit/PowerShell 5.0 (used to perform VMDK to VHD conversion). Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V (destination virtual host).

When using Virtual Machines (VM's) from other VMware products, the easiest way to get these VM's into ESX/vSphere is to use VMware's product called. VCenter Server does include a version of Converter, however I've had better success in using the standalone version to do VM conversions as it is (typically) a newer version with more features than the one included with vCenter.

This lesson describes how to use vCenter Converter Standalone to import VM's or VMDK files from other VMware Products, such as VMware Fusion, VMware Workstation and VMware Server. Powering On VM - Error with VMDK Files We experienced the shown error when trying to power on a few virtual machines from a vendor of ours. I assumed that the VM's were in ESX/vSphere format, but I guess they are not. It looks like we'll need to convert the VMDK's to the ESX/vSphere format so that we can use them. Error Message: Failed to find a host for powering on the Virtual Machine. The following faults explain why the registered host is not compatible. Device 'Hard Disk 1' uses a controller that is not supported.

This is a general limitation of the virtual machine's virtual hardware version on the selected host. Device 'Hard Disk 2' has a backing type that is not supported.This is a general limitation of the virtual machine's virtual hardware version on the selected host. Verifying the VMDK is not in an ESX/vSphere Format We SSH'ed into the vSphere server and browsed to the VMFS datastore that holds our Virtual Machine. As shown in the screenshot, we can tell the VMDK is not an ESX/vSphere compatible VMDK for the following reasons:. There is no '-flat.vmdk' file, which all ESX/vSphere type of VMDK's should have. There are VMDK 'slices' as shown in the screenshot.

ESX/vSphere VMDK's do not use this type of disk format (where other VMware products such as Workstation and Server do). You can use VMware Converter to fix this issue by converting the VM to an ESX/vSphere compatible VM.

IDE VMDK - Not Supported in ESX/vSphere An error that you might receive when using a VM from another product is: An IDE controller is found but the virtual machine does not support the option. The reason that this fails is that ESX/vSphere does not support IDE based Virtual Disks (VMDK's) like the Desktop/Hosted products do. You can use VMware Converter to fix this error by converting the VM to an ESX/vSphere compatible VM. Flat Backing Option Not Found An error that you might receive when using a VM from another product is: A flat backing option was not found. The reason for this error is that ESX/vSphere is looking for a virtual disk file (VMDK) that actually points to a -flat.vmdk file. The Desktop/Hosted products do not use this type of Virtual Disk but ESX/vSphere does.

You can use VMware Converter to fix this error by converting the VM to an ESX/vSphere compatible VM. Sparse Backing Info Disk Option Not Found Another error that you might receive when using a VM from another product is: A SparseVer2BackingInfo disk is found but the virtual machine does not support the option. This error is shown because this virtual disk uses a 'sparse' feature on the virtual disk, so as not to take up a lot of space on the drive.

Usually the VMDK file will also be 'split' into multiple VMDK files that end in a -0001, -0002 and so on. This is done to limit the size of the VMDK. ESX/vSphere does very similar options with VMDK files however it is done differently. This is the reason for the error shown. You can use VMware Converter to fix this error by converting the VM to an ESX/vSphere compatible VM. Download VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Edition Once you've downloaded the program, install it on a server that you can use for the migrations. I usually install it on my vCenter server but that's not a requirement.

Once installed, go ahead and start vCenter Converter Standalone. Convert Machine Once the program starts, choose 'Convert Machine' to get started.

Selecting Source for Conversion First, select the source type, which in our case will be a 'VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine' (1). Then browse to where the virtual machine is located at (2). This will need to be on a network share or on a local drive so that Converter can access the files. Then choose the Next button to proceed (3).

Selecting Destination for Conversion Select the destination type, which in our case will be a 'VMware Infrastructure Virtual Machine' (1). Then specify either an ESX/vSphere server or a vCenter Server along with the required login information for that host (2). Then select 'Next' to proceed (3). Now, specify the Virtual Machine name (1), the destination Datastore (2) and then click 'Next' to proceed (3). Note: If you use 'Version 7' for the Virtual Machine hardware version, you will not be able to use this VM on anything but vSphere 4. If you need to use this VM on ESX 3.x then choose 'Version 4' for the Virtual Machine hardware version.

VM Options This screen will show various options that you can specify for the newly created Virtual Machine. Your options may differ or you may want to change a few things here depending on your environment. A couple of options that I normally select is under 'Advanced Options' (1). Select the option to 'Power on target Machine' (2) and to also 'Install VMware Tools on the imported Virtual Machine' (3).

This will automatically startup and install VMware tools on the new virtual machine after the cloning process is finished. Next, click on the 'Next' button (4) to proceed. Wizard Summary A summary screen is displayed. If you need to edit any of the options on this screen, you'll need to back up through the wizard to that specific area.

If you are ready to proceed, click on the 'Finish' button to begin the conversion process. Running Conversion You can check the status of the conversion by following the 'Status' area for the conversion job. You can also use the 'Task Progress' tab to see more detailed information about the conversion. Conversion Completed Once the conversion is completed, you'll see the status of the job change to 'Completed'. Now, you can use the vSphere Client to log into your vSphere (or ESX) environment and you will see your newly created Virtual Machine, which has already been powered up successfully.
